A radioactive isotope A decays into another isotope B which has a half-life equal to 1/2 of that of A. Both isotopes emit alpha -prticles during their decay into a stable nucleus. If a sample consists intially of atoms of A. only then the net activity of the sample intially

The Uranium -238 decay series (also known as 4n+2 series. Can you tell why?) ends at a stable isotope .^(82)Pb^(206) . Lead -206 is found in a certain Uranium ore due to dissintegration of Uranium. (a) How many alpha and beta particles are emitted in the series decay of one ._(92)U^(238) nucleus into ._(82)Pb^(206) ? (b) what is the age of uranium ore if it now contains 8g of Pb^(206) for every 10g of U^(238) ? Hlaf life of U^(238) is 4.5 bilion year. [Take ln2=0.6930,ln(1.9243)=0.6546 ]

A radioactive isotope X decays into a stable nucleus Y. Draw graphs showing the variation of rate of formation of Y versus time and the variation of population of Y versus time. Initial population of Y is zero.

(a) What isotope is produced from the alph-radioactive Ra^(226) as a result of five alpha-disintergrations and four beta disintergrations? (b) How many alpha- and beta -decays does U^(238) experience before truning finally into the stable Pb^(206) isotope?
